Considering MachZer0's claim that the places with the lowest teen pregnancy rates are the ones teaching abstinence only:
The following states require teachers to stress abstinence in their sex education while not requiring them to mention contraception. In brackets behind these numbers, I shall write the ranking of their teen pregnancy (15-19). The lower the number, the higher the ranking. (They are ranked after their per capita number)
Arizone (18)
Arkansas (4)
Florida (19)
Georgia (11)
Indiana (29)
Louisiana (5)
Michigan (31)
Mississippi (2)
Missouri (25)
Ohio (26)
Oklahoma (6)
Tenessee (17)
Texas (3)
Utah (45)
Wisconsin (44)
